I can't possibly blank after finding the Carp with a deeper surely?

[@carp.fishing]

I always turn off the fish location on my deeper, if you look at most of the deeper pro users they almost always use the echo locater to look for arcs in the water and not fish symbols. Good video as always though mate

[@BivvyLife]

That's a great shout that pal I'll give it a go. Think I need to do a bit more research regarding this deeper. Thanks for your that and tight lines👍🏻 Steve

[@AaronCarpAngler-UK]

Brilliant video mate and top angling 👍🏻🔥

[@BivvyLife]

I appreciate that but hardly top angling here :-) this session nearly finished me off. Thanks for the feedback Tight lines

[@bazt8427]

The fish in the weed on the shelf, was just the weed. Deeper is making a guess at best with the fish icons. As said earlier, use the Arcs, the fish icons are for interest but take n with a big handful of salt.

[@BivvyLife]

You could possibly be correct although they could've been fish. I'm no so sure any fish finders are 100% accurate. The arcs can also be wrong and not always fish. Tight lines Steve

Great video mate 👍

Cheers pal 👍🏻

[@stevenwright1461]

If u want to keep your pva bag dry put a layer of dirt or gravel I’ve done it many times don’t think the sticks were a very good idea 😂

[@BivvyLife]

I'm now using a rear pva attachment but yes there are many ways around it other than sticks 😩

[@SpecialistBlanker]

Top effort mate - the rewards didn’t come on that session but onto the next one. What camera do you use on your chest/coat? Tight lines 🎣

[@BivvyLife]

Cheers pal yea tricky session that it was hard to take tbh. Blanks don't usually bother me as I just like being out there but had quite a few stinkers of late. It's a hero 11 black mate with the foam cover for wind reduction. I try to use it as little as possible mainly pov if I can help it. Tight lines Steve

[@NickBabington]

Good video 👍 The deeper is good for depth/feature finding, but I don’t trust the fish symbols. I’m sure it mistakes weed/debris as fish most times. I put a layer of pellets to protect pva. Twigs a good idea, but even if there’s a remote chance of something getting caught on the line I wouldn’t use it.

[@BivvyLife]

Hi Nick, You're spot on with your assumption that these devices can sometimes misinterpret debris as fish, I had a lucky fish finder which I found completely unreliable but the deeper chirp technology is a big improvement although not completely reliable. It would make me feel a whole lot better if the fish in this vlog was actually debris ;-) Happy fishing

[@NickBabington]

Haha. I’d say your reading was almost definitely debris. I’ve had a chirp for a couple of years and think they can lead to more disappointment if you rely on the fish symbols. Better to use them to fish to find strong features I’d say. Most experienced guys turn the symbol off and rely on the strength of the ‘yellow banana’ (😂) if truly trying to find fish. The symbol is a bit of a marketing ploy IMO. Keep up the good work 👍

[@addictedtoangling]

Nice one mate cant fault your effort but we cant force them to feed ive not been on the bank since november pal im waiting till spring its minus 7 here again tonight as always a good watch cheers pal and tightlines

[@BivvyLife]

I thought the manta was if we put the effort in we get the reward😂 I'll keep plugging away pal and yes proper cold now. Also -7 down here this morning. Tight lines pal All the best Steve

Good video But I have skeetex I must inform you that I find them snug comfy

[@BivvyLife]

They are really comfy mate, toastie warm feet but they aren't ideal for me when I'm walking long distances. Thanks for the feedback pal 👍🏻 Tight lines Steve

[@dankenyon8932]

😂 you do realise your boots are on the wrong way round? 🙈 No wonder they are uncomfortable.

[@BivvyLife]

Pmsl I was waiting for this comment pal 😂They do look like they're the wrong way round but they're actually not. This was a problem with these early Skeetex the left and right are the same. Mental I know. Tight lines Steve

​@@BivvyLife I have a pair of those "Unifoot" Skeetex boots... made for slow anglers... 😜 Sub and a like, mate !! 😎👍☘🍺

What bait boat is that mate, bad design that not being able to use solid bags without that messing around

[@BivvyLife]

Yea spot on pal but Can't grumble it was free. Other than that it's a crackin boat. Tight lines Steve

[@GoneFishingVlog]

Yeah If it was free you can’t grumble. Enjoyed the video mate 🎣

[@BivvyLife]

Thanks pal I try to keep it honest and engaging although the latter can be tricky due to the very nature of fishing. Thanks again for the feedback. Tight lines Steve.

[@catalickconverta6823]

Single 6mm bread punch on a little 12 gram bomb is what you need 8lb line 4lb hooklink thats carp fishing this is just wanking in a bivvy

[@BivvyLife]

Good luck trying to get a big carp through weed at 80+ yards on a 4lb hooklink 👍🏻

[@catalickconverta6823]

@@BivvyLife id just boat out to it

[@fish4fun84]

I agree with that method but with upped tackle, casting bread flake about can be great this time of year.

[@catalickconverta6823]

@@fish4fun84 yeah i no im only messing if i was fishing for carp no bigger then 15lb id use that weak of a hook link if it was on a big lake with plenty of room to play the fish but obviously if i was on a deep gravel pit with heavy lillys and weed id be using braid mainline line 25lb down to 15lb mono or somert or lighter braid
